Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The intensive therapeutic exercise programme was feasible and improved the respiratory function of patients due to undergo elective abdominal surgery compared with home-based exercise advice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preoperative therapeutic exercise in frail elderly scheduled for total hip replacement: a randomized pilot trial
TL;DR: A short, tailor-made, exercise programme is well tolerated and appreciated in elderly patients awaiting total hip replacement, however, a larger randomized clinical trial in the same setting is not warranted, because of the high number of eligible non-volunteers.
Journal ArticleDOI
The association of pre-operative physical fitness and physical activity with outcome after scheduled major abdominal surgery
TL;DR: It is concluded that pre‐operative questionnaires of physical activity and measurements of fitness contribute to the prediction of postoperative outcomes and significantly improved the predictive value compared with known risk factors, such as age and comorbidities.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of functional tasks exercise and resistance exercise on health-related quality of life and physical activity. A randomised controlled trial.

TL;DR: The results suggest that in these subjects HRQOL measures may be affected by ceiling effects and response shift, and studies should include performance-based measures in addition to self-report HRZOL measures, to obtain a better understanding of the effect of exercise interventions in older adults.
Journal ArticleDOI
Feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of a physical exercise training program during neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy in individual patients with rectal cancer prior to major elective surgery.
TL;DR: This pilot demonstrated that a supervised outpatient physical exercise training program for individual patients with locally advanced resectable rectal cancer during NACRT is feasible for a large part of the patients, safe and seems able to prevent an often seen decline in physical fitness during NacRT.
